Write an equation in slope intercept form of the line through point P(-1,-5) with slope -4.

Question

abbles · Answer

First you need to use point slope form, y - y1 = m(x - x1), and then isolate the y to get it into slope intercept form.

so if i had to choose between these answers which one would be best??
a. y=-4x-5   b.y+5=-4(x=1)   c. y+1=-4(x+5)   d.y=-4x-9

abbles · Answer

Plug the coordinates into the equation and then solve.
y - y1 = m(x - x1)
y + 5 = -4(x + 1)
y + 5 = -4x - 4
y = -4x -9
There you go, that's your answer.

abbles · Answer

So it would be D.

btw how do you get metals?

abbles · Answer

Metals can be given when you answer a question, not only by the person that asked but anyone really.  So if you help someone they'll probably give you a metal.

ok thanks

anonymous · Answer

how do i give you a metal?

abbles · Answer

Someone gave me a metal for this question, I'm not sure if it was you or not but you can check.  Do you see the blue button on the right side of each message that says 'best response'?  Click that and it will give a metal.  :)

oh ok 
where can the perpendicular bisectors of the sides of a right triangle intersect?
I. inside the triangle 
II.on the triangle 
III. outside the triangle
answer choices: a. I,II OR II  
                           b. I only
                           c. I or II only
                           d. II only
@Abbles

abbles · Answer

I think the answer is D, II only because the two sides of a triangle would intersect on the triangle itself.
